Did you play with LEGO??!

my lego ^^ :razz:

Thought this deserved a mention:

that is very cool indeed.

AH-HA.

so it was eve who made the worlds 1<SUP>st</SUP> wonderbra.

no cleavage here, but as soon as the fig leaves are on here, there is a noticable difference.

hats off to eve for making the world a better place :biggrin:

The devil spawned K'nex.

Of course I play with Legos

it started with duplo, then it was lego, and then it was a mixture of lego and technics. it ended with me and my bro competing for making the strongest car. the "sides" of the car were fortified with vertically attached pieces, connected via those black pins that you could insert in the holes in the techincs bricks. me and my bro then pushed the cars colliding, and the car that still had 4 wheels and a driver attached would win.

who's from denmark here ? there's a gigantic lego city over there, no ?

ps: maybe an idea for a fanatic: you could make a lego map using those monochrome textures, with the typical figures and such :biggrin:

There is a Battlefield 1942 mod based around Lego I believe, pretty sure I read about it in a PC mag a while back.

Hooray for crap.

It's actually a really fun little map to play in with a few people, but it looks like turd.

/me cries at past mapping mistakes

I was talking to 2d-chris and Minotauro.. it turns out we all played with legos.. and now where building things on the computer.. a coincidence?

Building a pc is just like lego, when i went to my introductory day at my 6th form college, the teacher that i spoke to said that building a pc is just like lego. Apart from when it all goes wrong.

Thats when you find out you ran outa them damn right angle blocks or the single blocks that hold the glowing sticks whilst building your monster creation!

I remember lep built this massive space ship, was seriously huge and had inside and everything, and I built a little fighter... He smashed my fighter by sitting on it so I threw his giant spaceship on the floor when he wasn't at home :eek:

Matt- thats all the Lego you had? Me and lep had like 2 under beds full of lego, and drawers of it!

Theres Legoland Windsor in UK... has a small version of London you can walk through made of Lego and stuff I believe. Big theme park :razz:

So you and lep knoe each other personally?

bwahahaha!

And Blister: I used to do the exact same thing with my friends, but I found the best design to be a squarish rectangle box built solidly with those big 2x4 bricks and having inset wheels. To top it off I would build one block sticking out like a spike to be used as a battering ram. If you build it right the ram will be supported by the whole structure of the car and won't come off. The plastic'll break before it gets knocked loose. BTW I was undefeated in competition. :biggrin:

I went a few years ago, it was pretty good from what I can remember.

Legos are the best invention since sliced bread.

hehe i guess its a sort of natural evolution, cause my final car was somewhat like you describe it, and was also an undefeated champion. i didnt have the battering ram though, i just had the flat front wall. and i used the 1x.. technics bricks, cause they were the only one with holes in. but tbh i think it would win against yours cause i had the vertically attached fortification bricks :razz: . We stepped off of battering rams cause the plastic simply couldnt withstand the impact force. it was becoming frustrating to see there weren't many undeformed bricks left if we wanted to build a new car.

:heee:

That son of a bitch took apart a les paul to make that?

Thats cool and all ... but jesus. Even if it was an Epifone Les Paul that would be expensive.

(That or he bought all the replacement parts)

probably easy enough to pick up a busted guitar, and use the bits from that.

i'd be a lot more impressed if he'd went to the trouble of making it playable though.

It looks as though all that's missing is the strings

You can't ... the legos would snap.
The amount of tension from guitar strings (that are tuned) is well ... a lot of force.

I mean, on a real guitar there's a wish bone (I believe its called) in the neck of the guitar to keep the strings from bending the neck.

He's still a bastard if he took apart a Les Paul :smile:

They're beautiful expensive guitars, Epiphone versions start at like 300 bucks. The real deals (Gibson) start at well over 1000.

Probably ... 564 pounds (Epiphone) and 1880 pounds (Gibson)

Why would they cost so much MORE in pounds than in dollars?

er .... its the other way around isn't it?

Does 160 and 532 pounds sound more reasonable? (thought it was $1 = 1.88 pounds ... sorry)

Cheating git, using a program to tell you how to make Enneper surfaces and the like rather than doing it all yourself

I looooove LEGO

Crono! Its ?1= ~$1.7

That's not what the stock market has said for about the past week.

And 1.7 can be approximatly 1.88, they're close enough.

even with the tension of the strings, some of those new fangled tecnix bits that have been mentioned, the ones with the holes, could have titanium rods inserted through them down the length of the neck and into the body. shortening the neck a little from the standard length would help too. and with lightest guage strings you'd be strumming away like something out of deliverance in no time. :smile:

well, maybe not.

I think he was "Crono!"'ing about you thinking it was the wrong way round as opposed to the accuracy of decimals.

Back on the Lego thing, i've used american lego (one of the richer
neighbours bought some back from a package holiday) and i can confirm
another lego fact!

British Lego, is different in its "slot togetherness" factor, to American Lego!

Blah blah blah :biggrin:

Gwil, how so?
Do they have a different number of 'plugs' or something?

Would it "slot together" with our Duplo by any chance? :biggrin:

when i was a kid, i swallowed a piece of lego. It was terrible

i can imagine that a piece of lego, coming back into the world after suffering such a fate, would not be the most fun thing to experience.

The little "o" rivet style things are larger on american lego, not
quite Duplo territory, but slightly larger :razz: You can actually join
british and american lego together, but they're pretty difficult to
take apart again..

I recall also the american lego sets feature certain bricks that we don't, but don't quote me on that.

I have an absolute shed-load in my parent's loft, and I keep hassling my Dad to fetch it all down for me (along with my Transformers), but he wont. I might take advantage of the fact that their on holiday and raid their loft this weekend :wink:

i have a lego mapping tut on Handy Vandal's site...

Oh man, do you have the badass transformers? The ones that were made in the late 70s and mid 80s. Those kicked ass.

Oh hell yeah.. back in the day me and my dad would wake up early just to watch TRANSFORMERS! ROBOTS IN DISGUISE! then the toys came out.. oh man I had battles between my lego robots and the transformers... I think it was ruined when the 3d transformers came out.. but I will never foreget the episode where they found optimis prime.. then they blew up the ship with him in it.. god that was sad.

Of - f**king - course ! :biggrin:

Heh, as far as I remember I have the original versions of Optimus Prime, Jazz, Skids, Gears, one of the Insecticons (looks like a locust), and my prize possession, Jet Fire...with all the armour accessories :wink: I had more but can't really remember without ferreting around in the loft.

I remember when I was younger I was upset that I couldn't get the Voltron "toys". They were expensive, being made of metal and all.

I guess they're planning on making new ones that are better then the old ones ... is that possible?

I was deff all about the constructo bots.. or w/e
